Student spotlights
Hear from your fellow students about their experience, where they traveled, what they learned and how workingÌýabroad has impacted their life.Ìý
I highly recommend striving toÌýdiversify yourÌýexperiencesÌýin numerous ways, because you’re never going to get a chance to try something new short-term.
My biggest advice to any co-op student coming in to the co-op program is to do the thing that you are afraid of doing.
